'We are Damned'

....

The President is not the nation. The media is not the nation. The selfish desires of a powerful few are not the nation. The Congress is not the nation.

This nation is 288 million teachers, doctors, bricklayers, road layers, bridging engineers, railroad workers, bakers, grocers, and thousands of others who actually make the nation work. But we seem to have forgotten that simple truth, that wisdom conveyed in those first three words to the Preamble to the Constitution, “We The People”.

The Constitution makes it clear that the nation is the people, and the government only a temporary custodian of our national sovereignty that rules by and only by the leave of the people.

We are damned because we have forgotten that the government is the employee of the people, and that like any employee the government is required to obey orders, not to give them.

We are damned because we have forgotten that as the employers of the government, we have the right to decide what our employees can do and more importantly, what they cannot.

We are damned because we have forgotten who is really supposed to be in charge

1. It seems that the first three words of the Preamble to the Constitution...

...has been rewritten by the neo-cons, the compassionate conservatives, republicans and other like-minded individuals to say, "In our greed".

2. Sigh....Sigh....Too true. WE MUST GET THEM OUT OF POWER. But

then the Democratic party will be saddled with all the havoc they have created. And they won't let go that easy.
The alternative, though, is even more horrible. All those loonies in power until we cease to exist as a viable country.
